Trouble Signing into SQL database using microsoft account tab

When I try signing in to an SQL database that I am using for a dataset on the Microsoft account tab, it tells me to clear credentials.  I'll clear credentials that exist and then it still won't sign me in.  What should I do next?

Above is the error I get. 

 

I have gone into data source settings to clear the permissions and am able to clear/delete the global stored permissions but the not permissions on the file, which seemingly aren't working. 

 

Best!

Hi @mkhammel_2022_b ,

 

Can you provide the manner in which you cleared the voucher? Do you clear the credentials and then reconnect to the sql data source in the following area.
